Clamp setup.
Parasoul has generally better drive and the snowplough, and the armour's good as well. One thing it does crucially lack is an active pressing wedge (and by extension, weapon) like I have, so it'll be harder for him to stay underneath. I'm also just about fast enough to keep up, the Euryptus Wedge set-up he's picked also does not work inverted, and the way his rear wedge is laid out makes him especially vulnerable to flanking.
Move out quickly and feint a box rush, watching to see how he approaches as I do. He tries angling in, reverse out the way with the forks down and drop the clamp down on him when he comes close to my range. He box-rushes, reverse with him as he gets close, press the forks, and drop. In any case, if an opportunity comes to grab him from the side or corner of the main body presents itself, take it. If he gets under, don't panic -- I can simply drive off due to the lack of things to keep me on the wedge, but try to drop off the side or opposite corner to the direction he's going to increase my chances of catching him out.
Once I have him, my main priority will be to flip him if I can to nullify the snowplough (be it via my lifter or the flippers), but ideally get a good grip so I can lift his wheels right off the ground and either cook him on the flames and melt his tyres, directly damage his wheels with my clamp and the spikes, lift and squash him against the wall to wear down the clock, and generally try to keep him herded near the walls and hazards and myself in the middle.
Defensively, keep the front facing him and be ready to dodge/counter accordingly if he tries flanking, or driving over and off if he does get underneath. Press the forks down if we're going wedge-to-wedge, and whenever he looks like he's going get in range of my weapon, use the clamp to capture him before he gets away. Keep constantly moving and unpredictable to avoid being pinned, keep away from the flippers if not using them myself and self-right using the clamp if flipped, and if he starts to push, use everything I have to escape. Don't let him overwhelm me!
Good luck!

Lethal Injection 3 VS Parasoul
Eurypterus Wedge for this fight.
- From the start aim to drive straight out at him and watch for his movements. If he tries to flank, use my better speed and control to counter whatever it is he tries to do. If he tries to go head on at me, then barrel straight into him. My wedge has the advantage in that all the weight is being thrown under one point whilst the force on his ones are more spread out.
- The lack of real hazards here will hurt the both of us, so try to settle with wall pins and slams to try and keep things interesting. Try to hold him over the flame jets or generally give him a tour of the flippers.
-Defensively, keep my front facing him at all times. If he tries to flank, use my better control and keep facing him. If he wedges, quickly J-hook on outta there. And if thinks are looking hairy, quickly drive onto one of the conveyor belts and then drive off them moments later to create a bit of distance to regroup. Avoid any baiting tactics of any kind.
